Holiday houses in El Papayal

The house was amazing! Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. We had a large group and there was plenty of room in the house for everyone. The pool was lovely and the sunset views from the house were gorgeous. Cristina and the staff at the house made our stay very enjoyable. They helped us organize a large dinner to celebrate our anniversary at the home and helped us coordinate a chef. We hired the chef to prepare our meals and every meal was delicious. The home was also kept very clean and the staff ensured the house was secure and we felt very safe. I highly recommend staying here! We had the most incredible stay.

Our family of 5 (2 teens,1 pre-teen) stayed 5 nights at Dan’s spectacular villa on the ocean. We were in heaven the entire time - the panoramic view is second to none, the villa was absolutely gorgeous and beautifully designed, the pool was divine, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We spent our days boogie boarding on the beach, which was only a short walk down the hill, and then our evenings at one of the local restaurants - Our best meal was with their in-house cook who served up fire roasted chicken with rice and baked pineapple - delicious! Another favourite evening the staff prepared a huge bonfire for us on the beach where we roasted marshmellows and sipped beer with lime. Everyone one of us agreed this was one of our best vacations ever. Thank you Dan! We will be back!

Paul’s place was gorgeous and peaceful. Comfortable couches and beds made our family getaway especially relaxing. The view was absolutely stunning! Highly recommend this property.

Beautiful home with extremely easy access to beautiful beaches, restaurants and bars. Everything was clean and modern and our family really enjoyed our stay here !

Corrin and Jacq were exceptional hosts. Always present and super diligent. The house, in turn, is perfect: excellent location, equipped with everything you need (and more) and extremely comfortable and pleasant. It was an incredible experience, which I recommend to everyone (especially to those who surf, given the two “world class” waves located within the condominium).

The best location if you are advance, Expert surfers! Hands down🙌 the world class breaks call Colorado, Panga Drop. Also they can arrange a panga to take you to Lance's left(longest left break) for $200. This iguana community has shops, a gym also. Pay $15 for a group workout with an instructor. Pay $10 for self workout. The house was easy to find and super clean, beautiful, right on the beach and a pool. But just be careful from sand fleas during sunrise and sunset time....there are tons out there! Bring bug spray. There are so many places to eat around this house, also this house comes with full kitchen and BBQ grill, but wish had basic condiments, like olive oil, salt, pepper, paper towels, sugar etc.... We really enjoyed staying at this house. Super tranquilo😊

Our recent Christmas week at Rancho Majagual was truly one of the best family vacations we’ve ever experienced. We returned to our family trip tradition of being “present” in each other’s lives vs. presents for the holiday. Nicaragua was a first for us and our family of 7 with 2 children, ages 8 and 6. What an amazing week it was! Our host, Alam, oversaw a full, attentive staff and was an incredible asset in coordinating every detail. A birthday celebration with a 4 piece band started our week of celebration of amazing sunsets, bonfires, surfing lessons, catamaran sailing on Christmas Day, monkey sightings, lazy pool and hammock days, beach walks, kayaking and Christmas Eve Mass in town. The chefs prepared very delicious meals working around a food allergy and our bartender was most accommodating! Rancho Majagual was pure relaxation and very memorable. No matter if you are renting the main house or the bungalows, you will be treated to a magical and serene escape! Book it and go!

We had a wonderful stay at the condo. This is a perfect location and view to enjoy Rancho Santana. Steps to pool, clubhouse with an oceanfront view. Tom was very responsive and was a great host. My family had a blast and will return! RS is a really nice spot to visit. Surfing, fishing, horseback riding, absolutely peaceful and pristine with so much to do. Cheers!

We had a great time with our big family group of 13. We were a bit worried due to the USA releasing a travel advisory to Nicaragua level 3 but we felt safe the whole time. The house staff Allan and Leticia were fantastic. They grocery shopped for us and cooked us delicious meals. The restaurants at the beech were also delicious and would deliver food to the house. My one complaint is the view at the house isn’t as pictured. There is new construction adjacent that is blocking the majority of the cove view from the house and noisy construction with a whole crew of workers eye-level to the house Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm. Aside from that, everything was as described and we had a great time. One member in our party is disabled and in a manual wheelchair. There is a large flight of stairs to get to the house and the house is on a very steep hill. The path to the beech is on rough terrain. We made it down once, but spent the rest of the time at the house. The pool is very cold.
